Being a Woman in Engineering

One of the questions I frequently get asked from prospective students and their families during Meet USC sessions is, “What’s the ratio of male to females in engineering?” It’s only then do I remember that I am, indeed, considered a minority in the engineering field. Although the Viterbi School of Engineering is about 30% women (beating out the national average of ~18%!), it definitely doesn’t seem like such a divide....

A Weekend in Southern California

As the school year comes to a close, everything seems to happen at once. My weeks and weekends are jam packed with activities to finish off the year. Last weekend was one of the busiest—and most fun! To start off, instead of having our normal weekly training on campus, our Air Force ROTC Detachment went to Dockweiler beach Friday. We had a blast running barefoot in the sand for our...

The Great KATsby

This weekend I had a dilemma–the infamous Viterbi Ball and my sorority invite fell on the same night. Ironically, they were both 1920′s themed. Although I had so much fun with my fellow engineers at Viterbi Ball last year, nothing can beat a Theta invite! Since we often shorten our full greek name from Kappa Alpha Theta to KAT, this invite was nicknamed The Great KATsby after the classic Great...

Besides all the fun themed parties, weekend trips snowboarding, and days spent soaking up the sun which you can read about in everyone’s blogs, I promise we do study…. A lot. My first semester freshman year, I took my favorite Computer Science class where some of our projects included extracting an image from a green screen and placing it in front of a new background, creating a Facebook like network...

The best way to describe my week is that I’ve been making plans. A lot of plans. Plan #1: I plan to go to Florence, Italy this summer with the Viterbi Overseas Program!!! I’ve officially paid my deposit and I can’t imagine a better way to spend my summer– hanging out with friends from USC, in a foreign country I’ve never been to before, leaving U.S. territory for the first...

After a very busy Friday, where I went to classes, did homework, had two research meetings, a Meet USC event, and a work meeting,I was very much looking forward to going to my sorority’s invite that night! Invites are where girls get to bring a date of their choice and get into costume to go celebrate at a surprise venue. The theme of the evening was “GPhi Jukebox” – so...

After only 3 weeks of classes the new spring semester is already in full swing! Everything is going well so far, and I’m enjoying my new classes and all the events the organizations I am involved with have planned for this spring. I am especially enjoying the incredible 75 degree weather and gorgeous days we have had in LA for the last week. It makes it slightly harder to concentrate...

Spring Semester: At a Glance

It’s still the dead of winter and yet today in LA it was sunny and 70 degrees–one more reminder that, yes, I did pick the right school. It’s been such a blessing to be here at USC the past three and a half years, and I’m sure that this final semester will be just as amazing. I mentioned before that since I came to USC with a few AP credits...

Surviving the End of the Semester!

It’s crazy to think how fast this semester flew by—I travelled to three away games, attended my cousins wedding, continued to explore Los Angeles with my friends, and balanced a full course load of engineering classes. Now that I’ve been home for a week, caught up on sleep and lots of good food, I’ve realized just how exhausting the final weeks have been. I drove up to Northern California for...

Wow where did the semester go?! It’s hard to believe I’m halfway through my sophomore year… This past semester was awesome! My classes, lacrosse, and my new involvements on campus were all great and I thoroughly enjoyed them. So with a recap of fall 2011, here’s to 2012! My classes: As I predicted in the beginning of the semester, my Physics course was the hardest class for me this past...
